.more wingnuts than a sycamore.

 June was the fourth consecutive month that was the warmest on record for the combined global land and surface temperatures (after March, April, and May). This was the 304th consecutive month with a CGLSTabove  the 20th century average.

Great Idea! We can't all fly the alps but can ride a babike.

I'm game if a few others are - can we crash on top of your garage? I forget - do we get given babikes or do we have to bring our own?

Sure, as many as want to can crash, but the race track is on the Tokyo side of Mt Fuji, in Oyama-cho. Probably no further from there than from here. But we could all come back here for a post-mortem plus onsen-dip.

Bike will be provided by the bike shop. There will be 2 teams so we need about 20 people at least. We usually manage to get enough, and if some don7t turn up you get a chance for an extra couple of laps of a real F-1 circuit!

You can see further ahead from a bike!
